TOM SAWYER WOULD BE PROUD
Is there a better job out their for a red-blooded American than Blackwater security guard?
The lucky person tabbed for this cherished position gets paid a pile of cash to ride around protecting state department and other officials in Iraq. They meet danger with the mantra "Spray and pray", with the result that hundreds of innocent civilians have been blown to kingdom-come for the crime of getting in Blackwater's way.
When the heat is raised over these senseless killings, the State Department grants them immunity from prosecution in order get the facts, and nothing but the facts.
Their name may be Blackwater, but they are drenched in Whitewash.
